Heck, I'd be thrilled by a "avoid intersections where the bottom 20% of drivers get stuck waiting for several minutes trying to make the turn" option.
99% of the time I wouldn't use it. But the 1% of the time that I'm doing something stupid the last thing I need is a extraneous hard intersections.
It's not like Google doesn't have the location data to figure out the difference between intersections where traffic is slow and steady vs where people routinely get stuck.

I use the “alternate route” hints for this - if the left turn looks dicey (not protected, busy) I’ll keep going and let it reroute. Usually finds a stop light.
